Elections to Manchester City Council were held on Tuesday, 1 November 1904. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. Owing to the extension of the city's boundaries, five new wards (Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Didsbury, Moss Side East, Moss Side West, and Withington) elected all of their councillors for the first time.

The council remained under no overall control.
